88mm Flak36 (Tamiya 1/35)
15th Panzer Division, Halfaya Pass, Libya, June 15, 1941.

I built this model as the Flak36 variant and it represents German defenses during Operation Battleaxe, which was the second British attempt to retake the Halfaya Pass and relieve Tobruk. Concealed 88mm guns like this one decimated the advancing British tanks, earning it the nickname “Hellfire Pass”.
